Narrative

LOCATION: ELP ARPT. AN EARLY AM DEP AT XA10 LCL. WX CAVU. AIRFIELD DEVOID OF ANY ACTIVITY. CLRED TO TAXI TO RWY 22; I REQUESTED RWY 8 AS OUR RTE WAS E TO DFW. WINDS CALM. GND CLRED US TO TAXI TO RWY 8 VIA TXWY J. AS THERE WAS NO OTHER MOVEMENT OR AUDIO TFC; I COMMENCED TAXI. ANTICIPATING TAXI VIA TXWY K. I GLANCED ON MY ARPT DIAGRAM TO LOOK FOR TXWY J. NOT FINDING IT READILY ON THE DIAGRAM; I LOOKED OUTSIDE TO SEE I WAS APCHING TXWY J; MADE THE TURN AND FOUND MYSELF ON THE EXTENDED END OF RWY 8. IMMEDIATELY; I SENSED SOMETHING WRONG AS GND DIRECTED ME OFF THE RWY FOR AN ACFT INBOUND ON THE RECIPROCAL RWY 26L; APPROX 5 MI OUT. I TAXIED OFF THE RWY AND TURNED AROUND AND HELD SHORT ON TXWY K. THE ACFT WAS JUST COMING INTO SIGHT; THOUGH IT DID NOT MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER FINDING MYSELF IN THIS POS. I ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY FAULT BUT BELIEVE THIS MAY BE A GOTCHA THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED; OR WILL HAPPEN TO ANOTHER. THE ACTIVE PART OF RWY 8 IS JUST BEHIND THE A TERMINAL; ONLY 2 QUICK TURNS AWAY. ALSO; TXWY J IS NOT EASILY DETECTED ON THE ARPT DIAGRAM. THE ONLY ALPHA LISTING IS ON THE OTHER SIDE; N OF RWY 8/26L. FINALLY; TURNING ONTO TXWY J PUTS ONESELF DIRECTLY ON THE RWY. THE TERM;' TAXI TO RWY 8 VIA TXWY J'; IMPLIES TAXIING ON TXWY J IS INTENDED.
